" Tater" People..

Post 311 - - - - - Thursday, 13th September, 2007.

Hello Folks ~~ I hope this finds you all well and happy, or atleast as well as is possible and enjoying your lives. All is wellhere and the weather was warmer today, although I wasn'toutdoors much. Just to peg washing out, and later bring itin, all nice and dry and now put away.

First photo is just a little ornament that sits on my microwave.

This is the top half of a wall hanging that my daughter Kathy's kids gave memany years ago. I guess Kate did the machine work. She has a teddy bearrepresenting herself, Jorja, the youngest has a feather and some flowers,while Kristen drew a blonde girl (like her) with pigtails. They live on adairy farm, hence the cows and roosters on the border.

This is the bottom half with the boys, Nico who is a keen farm boy, and Johwho drew this rather awful mountain bike. It hangs on a door in my home.BTW Joh likes the Army and has settled in well. Bec, another G.daughtergave me the Door handle Christmas Bear who sits there with the hanging.

Tonight's first item is one my daughter Julie sent me about Potato People.It had pictures of potatoes on the e mail she sent, but I haven't yetfigured out how to add them. It is called "Tater" People.

Some people never seem motivated to participate, butare just content to watch while others do the work.They are called "Spec Taters."

Some people never do anything to help, but are giftedat finding fault with the way the others do the work.They are called "Comment Taters."

Some people are very bossy and like to tell others whatto do, but don't want to soil their own hands.They are called "Dick Taters."

Some people are always looking to cause problems byasking others to agree with them. It is too hot or toocold, too sour or too sweet.They are called "Agie Taters."

There are those who say they will help, but somehowjust never get around to doing the promised help.They are called "Hezzie Taters."

Some people can put up a front and pretend to besomething they are not.They are called "Emma Taters."

Then there are those who love others and do what theysay they will. They are always prepared to stop whateverthey are doing and lend a helping hand. They bring realsunshine into the lives of others.They are called "Sweet Taters."

If you know any "Sweet Taters" send this to them.<><><>

After saying I get most of my jokes from a Joke book,tonight I am going to post a few that have been sent to me.

One from Carole (Pea). Thank you my friend.It is called "Grandmas Don't Know Everything."

Little Joey was staying with his grandmother for a few days.He'd been playing outside with the other kids for a while whenhe came into the house and asked her, "Grandma, what's thatcalled when two people sleep in the same room and one is ontop of the other ?"

She was a little taken aback, but she decided to just tell him thetruth. "It's called sexual intercourse, darling."

Little Joey just said, "Oh, OK," and went back outside to playwith the other kids.

A few minutes later he came back in and said angrily, "Grandma,it isn't called sexual intercourse. It is called Bunk Beds. AndJimmy's mother wants to talk to you."<><>

If you had purchased $1000.00 of Nortel stock one year ago, itwould now be worth $49.00.

With Enron, you would have had $16.50 left of the original $1000.

With World Com you would have less than $5.00 left.

If you had purchased $1000 of Delta Air Lines stock, you wouldhave $49.00 left.

But, if you purchased $1000.00 worth of beer one year ago,drank all the beer, then turned in the cans for the aluminiumrecycling REFUND, you would have had $214.00. Based onthe above, the best current investment advice is to drink heavilyand recycle.It is called the 401 -Keg Plan.<><>

A married couple was in a terrible accident where the man's facewas severely burned. The doctor told the husband that theycouldn't graft any skin from his body, because he was too skinny.

So the wife offered to donate some of her own skin. However,the only skin suitable would have to come from her buttocks.The husband and wife agreed they would tell no one about wherethe skin came from, and they requested that the doctor also honortheir secret. After all this was a very delicate matter.

After the surgery was completed, everyone was astounded at theman's new face. He looked more handsome than he ever had before.All his friends and relatives just went on and on about his youthfulBeauty.

One day, he was alone with his wife, and he was overcome withemotion at her sacrifice. He said, "Dear, I just want to thank youfor everything you did for me. How can I possibly repay you?"

"My darling," she replied, "I get all the thanks I need, every timeI see your mother kiss you on the cheek."

If this doesn't make you smile ~ nothing will.<><>

Back to the book !!

On one of the hottest days on record in Texas, the Lone Rangerand Tonto walked into a bar and sat down to drink a beer.

After a few minutes, a big tall cowboy walked in and said,"Who owns the big white horse outside?"

The Lone Ranger stood up and said "I do. . .Why?"The cowboy looked at the Lone Ranger and said, "Just thoughtyou'd like to know that your horse is about dead from the heat."

The Lone Ranger and Tonto rushed outside and, sure enough,Silver was ready to die from heat exhaustion. The Lone Rangergot the horse some water and soon Silver was starting to feela little better.

The Lone Ranger turned to Tonto and said, "Tonto, I want youto run around Silver and see if you can create enough of abreeze to make him feel better."

Tonto said, "Yes, Kemosabe," and took off running circles aroundSilver.

Not being able to do anything else but wait, the Lone Rangerreturned to the bar to finish his drink. A few minutes later, anothercowboy struts into the bar and says, "Who owns that big whitehorse outside?"

The Lone Ranger stands again and says , "I do, what's wrongwith him this time ?"

The cowboy looks him in the eye and says, "Nothing, but youleft your Injun running."<><>

A man walked into the ladies' section of a Department storeand says to the woman behind the counter. " I' d like to buya Baptist bra for my wife, size 36B."

"What type of bra, sir?" asks the assistant."Baptist," said the man. "She said a Baptist Bra and you wouldknow what she means."
